It gives Iran yet another reason to delay
Them not being able to make a final deal would cause delays as well. It is a good condition. Blockade and shutting down money, hurting China, will put maximum pressure upon Iran Regime.
Also, conditions deteriorating for citizens will make things very dangerous for the Basij and IRGC. I think if the citizens can somehow get armed the regime is cooked with the help of mossad and cia.

The IRGC is placing ballistic missile launchers inside school grounds in southern Iran.
Footage shows a launcher positioned in a middle school yard near Bandar Abbas, a major port city along the Persian Gulf.
The move raises concerns the regime is embedding military assets in civilian areas to shape the narrative around potential strikes, even as schools remain empty.

JUST NOW — JD VANCE on POPE LEO: "He said that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword...how can you say that? [Was] God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis?"
"Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps and liberated those innocent people from those who had survived the Holocaust?"
"I certainly think the answer is yes."

I want to highlight the immense economic pressure the United States is exerting on Iran. The U.S. has announced it will NOT renew the waiver on Iranian oil at sea and will intercept any oil tankers departing Iran, effectively detaining them until Iran agrees to American terms. Additionally, today, the U.S. notified numerous banks in countries across the Middle East and China that continued financial transactions with Iran will result in sanctions. At this pace, Iran’s economy could collapse within two weeks—without a single shot being fired

Seems that everything is converging towards an accord in line to the proposed peace deal framework that I outlined over a week ago (x.com/_10delta_/stat…)..
Expecting some sort of Marshall Plan applied to Iran to counter China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) & bring Iran into the American sphere of influence.
Economic rather than kinetic realignment.
The carrot is sometimes stronger than the stick.
From the peace deal framework:
"No American president will sign a document implying American wrongdoing by paying reparations. The political optics make it impossible. But Iran's infrastructure has been devastated, & no Iranian government can sell a deal to its public without a credible path to rebuilding.
So, how do we structure the capital flow in a way that both capitals can accept?
The answer is a Joint Iran-US-Gulf Reconstruction & Development Fund, capitalized at $50-100B from three sources: Iran's own sanctions-frozen assets (roughly $100B sitting in accounts worldwide), Gulf sovereign wealth fund commitments, & private Western investment. The US contribution comes as regulatory facilitation rather than taxpayer money: sanctions lifting, OFAC licensing, Ex-Im Bank guarantees. American, European, & Gulf corporations receive priority contracts for rebuilding Iranian energy infrastructure, transport, telecoms, & housing.
The Marshall Plan applied to the Persian Gulf.
"Helping Europe Help Itself" -> "Helping Iran Help Itself"
The US financed European reconstruction after WWII & got the Bretton Woods system in return.
Here, American companies rebuild what American bombs destroyed, which creates domestic jobs, generates corporate lobbying in favor of maintaining the peace, & ties Iran into the dollar denominated commercial system through thousands of contractual relationships.
Every $ of Western capital invested becomes a structural anchor creating constituencies in both countries with a financial stake in the deal's survival.
Economic incentives aligned for peace."

Basij commander assassinated in Tehran yesterday
Mohammad Sheermahmoudian, head of a Basij base in District 18, was shot and killed by unidentified attackers.
This marks a rising wave of targeted attacks against IRGC and Basij forces, signaling expanding armed resistance on the ground.

I wouldn’t give the Europeans a damn thing.

Basij members blame “internal traitors” for the bombings near their post
These guys have no idea what's heading their way. The Iranian people may not have guns, but they have cars, and knives, and acid, and gasoline and lighters, and axes and lead pipes and bricks. And they know where you live and sleep and work.

Those two butt buddies can enjoy being in last place with China after we liberate and enrich Iran. Should’ve played ball while they had the chance.

TRUMP'S IRAN BLOCKADE JUST STUNNED THE WORLD!
STEPHEN MILLER: "President Trump has put Iran in a box. He's played the CHECKMATE MOVE."
"What you're watching is the total RESETTING of the American power DYNAMIC for the next 100 years!"
"Now, no matter WHAT path Iran chooses, America WINS. If Iran chooses the path of a deal, then that's great for the world."
"If Iran chooses the path of economic strangulation by blockade, then the world will pass Iran by!"
"New energy routes will be established, new supply chains will be established, other nations throughout the region, throughout the world, and especially America will power the world, and Iran will become a footnote."
"President Trump is saying, we, the United States, have the world's not just most powerful military, most powerful NAVY."
"And whoever controls the seas is able to control the outcomes in any foreign policy showdown."
"So that's the choice Iran has, and President Trump has put America into a win-win posture!"
"Never listen to a panican. You will do VERY well in life, ignore the panicans!" @StephenM
